For those who dream of peace, to live among the olive trees in the countryside, in a large traditional house of the Alentejo and full of modernity, we must take a moment to Horta do Padre. Lino, Fernanda and Anna are attentive hosts, pleasant and always listening. The pool is very nice for hot days. A holiday home of your dreams ...

In the heart of Alentejo, a family from the North raised a magical home of contemplation, serenity and silence.
The House of the Valley of the Dark Land is located in Alvito, between Évora and Beja, 1h30m from the Lisbon and Faro airports and 1h from Comporta beach. Integrated into a 10 hectares property, surrounded by century-old olive trees, it can be rented for a minimum stay of 3 nights. It is ready to welcome families to a total of 10 people with total privacy.

A one-story house of 220 square meters in a 10 hectares property. Past the courtyard is the living room as well as the dining area and the kitchen. The green bedroom, with a double bed and private bathroom, is the main bedroom of the house. The remaining three bedrooms are past a hall at the end of the living room. In the orange bedroom there is a double bed and private bathroom with a bathtub. The white bedroom (with a double bed) and the blue bedroom (with 2 bunk beds) share a bathroom.
The house is surrounded by a 3000m2 lawn, which is separated from the rest of the property by a fence, with two gates as exits.

The house is located in Vila Nova da Baronia, one of the two parishes from the small county of Alvito. The tourist office, located 5 km from the house, can provide all of the information about the main monuments, trails and places to visit in the area.

We had wonderful vacations in Joaquim and Manuela’s house. The house is by far more beautiful than the pictures published in Airbnb!! It’s an amazing place for family holidays, peaceful and quiet. Joaquim and Manuela received us with several local tasty goods as a gift, what a surprise! The house was very clean and fully equipped.

The location is perfect for those who like heat and want to rest, can cool off in the friendly pool. I liked both of my experience in the house from the top I was practically 24 hours a day on the property. I recommend 100% this ad and for the year will definitely repeat.

The Top House is a unique place, in a very special small village. Dona Isabel, a real alvense village received us very well and even showed us where to buy bread, drink a waterspout and even invited us to Bailarico New Year's Eve! :) The house is beautifully decorated and optimally equipped both in the kitchen and rooms with outlets, towels, blankets ... Despite the cold December the temperature inside was always warm, thanks to the charming salamander. We loved getting to spend this time in the company of our little dog and we appreciate the little treats welcome. We will return in the summer to enjoy the pool and the backyard barbecue.

Inês2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Casa do Topo. Although he had not had the pleasure of meeting the host himself, he had arranged everything so that nothing was lacking. D. Isabel and D. Rosalina were very nice and helpful. The space is very pleasant, the interior of the house does not feel the heat of the Alentejo summer which allows a very relaxing naps :). The pool, the porch and the garden, although small are enough for a good time spent with the family, or alone! It is so well camouflaged that for those who like it can even be "at ease" in the pool because only the sheep or the shepherd (if you have binoculars) is that you can see us :)! The villa is quiet and everyone is very kind. We love eating in Mó and in Cuba in "Taberna do Arruda". In the surroundings there are places to visit and relaxing landscapes to lose sight of. For those who like peace and quiet during a weekend or a holiday this is an ideal location! We hope to be back soon! Well Hajam!

Barbara 2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

A beautiful house, very pleasant to live where one feels at home. Layout and decoration very tasteful. excellent facilities friendly and available host. Quiet, a typical village with friendly people and vistas to contemplate without moderation.

Stellar! This was one of our best EVER stays at an Air B&B rental. The location and views have to been seen in person. The interior design spoke to our sensibilities. Duarte could not have been more accommodating. he did not hesitate to assist us with anything to make our stay comfy. We hope to return and stay at this magical place again.

Welcome to Herdade do Gizo, your resting place located very close to Cuba in the heart of Alentejo. Ensure few days a lovely quiet in the knowledge that the time following the stay will be of great energy and productivity

the environment is beautiful. the interior of the house is almost nickel but external and the facades of houses are starved of maintenance

Eli2016-06-16T00:00:00Z

Been seven days, a quiet wonderful place to be in, well-built houses with a beautiful view over the plains however lack everything else. This estate belongs to depositors Banif Santander now consequently it will degrade if day after day without maintenance and that could be the paradise it is not. Employees do not know if I could do more think so, but the motivation is not the best for his future uncertain. So what can we say the cost-benefit ratio is not bad but could be magnificent. A shame to see these things come to this state, but it is Portugal at its best.

We stayed here for two nights as a stop-over from Algarve towards Lisboa and we generally enjoyed the place and the region although it is very dry and hot in the Summer. The house is very nice, bright and spaceous and recently renovated in modern style. It has a great panoramic view from the living room of the surrounding countryside. It has all necesary electrical appliances incl. dish washer, washing machine and aircon in all rooms but is on the other hand very scarcely equipped for cooking/eating. So I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay if you plan to cook yourself. The exterior facilities are - in contrast to the interior - somewhat breached and in decay. However, the surrounding nature is beautiful (but dry) with horses, sheeps and cows grassing next to and that is where you should put your attention. The location is good for one-day trips to Évora, Beja, Monserraz and other sights in the area. For your information this is not a private house but part of a condominio of holiday houses owned by Flagworld Hotels and Cristiana is an employee. We got the necessary information about our stay although her English is limited.

The ideal place to enjoy a family of nature and tranquility of the Alentejo

, quiet, nature

A Fantastic weekend in the true Alentejo Paradise. Super relaxing but also fun. The decor of the house is typically rural and charming, the outside space is brutal, with garden and beautiful gardens and a huge pool! The house also has a games room and football field, providing distraction besides being relaxing. The barbecue allowed us still great barbecues and dinners in the Garden. The village is small and very welcoming and the locals are very hospitable. The Sonia was impeccable and very friendly with us and everything went beautifully! I strongly recommend!

Bedroom (one of four) in a country house in a quiet farm, off the small village of Viana do Alentejo, 30km south of Évora (UNESCO World Heritage).

The house is in the middle of a 22,000 sqm rural property full of centenary olive trees and an orchard with different types of fruit trees, and facing an extended kitchen garden. The peaceful setting combines the comfort of renovated premises with the place's traditional identity and authenticity, reinforced by organic farming and by the animals that live around the house: the sheep, horses, chicken, cats, dogs... and the donkey Sebastião.
An important area of the house, its central element, is dedicated to the textile arts, my own atelier. It offers a small library and is equipped with looms and material for textile creation, be it spinning, weaving, tapestry, knitting, crochet, etc..
A welcoming environment awaits craftspeople, artists, trekkers and daydreamers alike, whether they have a flair for such activities and are interested in creative projects, investigation, and training in textiles and textile related activities - or simply wish for unspoiled nature, either for long walks or a comfortable rest chair under the inviting porch.
Textile and/or country lovers welcome!
Room Nº 1 has a double bed (sized 120 x 190 cm).
There are 2 bathrooms just beside (one with shower and another with bathtub).
Very quiet and with a delightful natural light, you will wake up, in your own time, for the morning birds singing. Alentejo hosts the richest bird populations.
Breakfast (made of regional fresh products) is served either in our kitchen or in the garden, it’s up to you.
We just wish you are as happy as we are here.

What a unique place! Getting here was an experience in itself (all my own fault, i had written down the wrong phone number), we ended up drinking beers in the local cafe of Viana, the locals were very helpful, they managed to contact Carlos and he came to pick us up :) We only spend one night at Isabel and Carlos place but we really enjoyed it, the house, the animals, the breakfast and the hosts. Thank you!

Suzanne2013-08-12T00:00:00Z

We had a very pleasant 2 day stay with Isabel and Carlos in their home. It is in the countryside, but not too far from two interesting restaurants where we dined in the evening. Isabel came to meet us at the nearest village, to show us the way to her home. Staying with them was a wonderful experience. They are such erudite and artistic people. The room was very comfortable with a patio outside the room. The breakfasts prepared by Carlos were delicious, many of the ingredients home prepared. Both Isabel and Carlos gave us a lot of suggestions on where we should visit, and even made reservations for us in the local restaurants. We loved staying with them. They were wonderful hosts and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody who wants to be well looked after.

Pearse2013-04-17T00:00:00Z

Isabel and Carlos made my stay very homey and special. I enjoyed the quiet location a lot and was very happy about spending time with their dogs, cats, sheep, horses and 1 donkey. The breakfast was nice. They even had oat and rice milk and salad from home grown vegetables.

Karow2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Isabel & Carlos were friendly and welcoming hosts. The house and our room was lovely and clean. We had our own bathroom. In the morning we get up with an excellent breakfast: fresh pressed orange juice, selfmade jam, and so on. Everything for a good start in the (holi)day. They recommended great places to visit and spoke good english. If we come back to portugal Isabel & Carlos will be our first address!

Edgar2012-08-25T00:00:00Z

Unfortunately we spent only one night at Isabel and Carlos' miraculous country house. We had a charming room which was clean and tidy. Carlos and Isabel are wonderful hosts, they prepared us a lovely breakfast, and gave us useful hints for our journey. This country house is the best place for a relaxing holiday in the middle of the Alentajo countryside.

Akos2012-09-14T00:00:00Z

Isabel and Carlos are great people, and great hosts. The place is very unique and images don't do it justice. Perfect for retreat or a place to explore Alentejo from. It's not just a room or a house, but a very special world. We really hope to be back one day.

Andrei 2012-09-19T00:00:00Z

Isabel and Carlos were lovely hosts - very friendly. They were very helpful when finding their place which is tucked away near the village of Viana de Alentejo - Isabel came to meet us at the village. The breakfast was delicious - all fresh produce from their garden and the surrounding areas. If you are looking for complete tranquility I recommend their place. It is only 20mins from Evora which is a lovely place to visit. Thank you very much Isabel and Carlos!

Paloma2013-08-04T00:00:00Z

I only have two words to any one looking at staying here: BOOK IT! Our stay was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Partly because the alentejo region is incredible and partly because this house is warm and inviting and Carlo is a great person. I am sure Isabelle is too but she was out of the country during our stay. We look forward to meeting her next time.
